I had a Gmail address set up in Thunderbird on my old computer (Win 10). I had to get a new computer with Win 11. I have my Earthlink addresses set up okay.

But I've been unable to properly set up the Gmail address. I enter all the information, but the account vanishes from T-bird. All I have in Thunderbird is a Thunderbird Tab with Google info. It's a full page which might not come out clear with a screenshot, so I'm copying what's on this Tab ....

Google Account

My old Arch Linux system with Thunderbird 145.0-1-x86_64 died. My RasPi and my new Pop-OS Meerkat both get 140.7.1esr (aarch64), and say they can't import my backups. I could see the RasPi ARM system getting a different Thunderbird, but the Meerkat is clearly an Intel processor. Why does it get the same version as the ARM based Pi? How can I recover my years of mail history? Both new installations say they are incompatible!

• Fantasia I & II* Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767)

         Telemann’s Fantasias capture the brilliance and balance of the

         grace, and invention.

• Kleine Passacaglia *Michael Kuntz (1915–1992)

          A modern take on a timeless form, Kuntz’s piece builds lyric beauty

Good afternoon.

When I receive emails such as password resets, or email verifications, etc., they always contain a line such as "click the link to verify your email", and they never display correctly like they do in other email programs, and I have to literally copy and paste the link in a web browser manually.

Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

This is what my messages look like . How do I get every line after "DATE" to not print like it used to. I am on version 115.10.1 My email is Fredwise@earthlink.net

When I go into my email program it asks for a password over and over again. it doesn't matter what password I put in, nothing works. Thunderbird has tried to send codes, but they don't go through to my email program. I have used my iPad with a different email address to check some things and go to Shaw Webmail to retrieve my emails. I need it to work as I have lots of files on there that I use often with a volunteer organization among others.

For 2 years have been trying to get Thunderbird to access my mail from The Messaging Co. My old Win 10 laptop has no problem. My new win 11 laptop won't. I have configured the servers over and over but everytime I try to access Thunderbird I get "could not connect to mail server: the connection was refused". Who is refusing the connection? And why? I have re-downloaded Thunderbird several times but the problem persists. I am using Firefox. And using the in and out servers as per my win 10 laptop.

Since to old add-on enabling customization of the message header toolbar doesn't work now, where might get one the is compatible with Thunderbird?

Thanks, James

Created new yahoo mail IMAP (PKCE) account using Thunderbird account creation. All seemed to work well. However, new account does not receive mail from "some" other IMAP and POP accounts in testing, including from TB Pro. Strangely, mail sent from oldest POP accounts works. Mail from newer POP gmail and TBPro accounts is not received. TB 149.0b1 Windows 11

POP3 account. Trash contains folders that, mostly, I have no idea where they came from, and nothing I do will delete them. More than 30 folders at current count, all empty.

Anyone have any insight? Thanks. Brett

Hi. From 27 feb I can't login to yahoo mail through mozilla thunderbird.

When I start thunderbird, new windows is opened with this link

https://login.yahoo.com/account/challenge/fail?src=oauth&client_id=dj0yJmk9WVZUaWRNUUZSQTBNJmQ9WVdrOVNqbHJUMGhtTkU4bWNHbzlNQT09JnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmc3Y9MCZ4PTgz&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1&done=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.login.yahoo.com%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize%3F.scrumb%3D0%26client_id%3Ddj0yJmk9WVZUaWRNUUZSQTBNJmQ9WVdrOVNqbHJUMGhtTkU4bWNHbzlNQT09JnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmc3Y9MCZ4PTgz%26code_challenge%3Dt6iqw87GVPZ649cCvOEh2L1hwkUluBhsrwxCdVTXAOY%26code_challenge_method%3DS256%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252F127.0.0.1%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dmail-w%2520ycal-w%2520sdct-w&acrumb=0EYriz7Z&display=login&authMechanism=primary&e=true&pcn=password&eid=3692

When I tried to login I see this information:

An error occurred.

We couldn't log you in. Please try again from a different device.

This is very strange, because I tried it on another PC and this is the same. It looks that yahoo even didn't try to check password, because this is not matter if I wrote correct password or different - I see the same information.

Please help. I have two yahoo mail account and this is the same.

Both accounts works well on another e-mail client and I can access to my account without any problem by browser. This is only thunderbird problem.

Hello Thunderbird Community Help!

After reviewing and implementing all the suggestions on the Mozilla/Thunderbird support pages and on the internet, I still cannot send emails from my office365 mail account from Thunderbird. I was able to send/receive email messages until about 4-5 days ago. From several different accounts on my laptop. And from two different laptops: one using Windows 10 and the other 11. Now, both will receive emails to their inboxes but neither will send a message.

I have the various set-up parameters set as recommended for SMTP using Oauth2, see below and the attached photo:

Outgoing (SMTP): Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Security: STARTTLS Authentication: OAuth2 Username: Your full Office 365 email address

I have deleted the stored password hundreds of times. I have deactivated MFA with Microsoft. I have deleted the e-mail profile in question many times, and have re-created it using automated and/or manual configurations. And I have deleted stored passwords.

I keep getting this message:

"Login to server smtp.office365.com with username [my.email.address] failed." With three button choices: "Retry" "Enter New Password" "Cancel"

No luck with Retry or Enter New Password. They both result in a brief, failed re-attempt to send the email message, and a return to the previous message and choices.

Pressing "Cancel" results in this message: "Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) . Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'."

Additionally I've reset my MS password several times. And MS seemingly is uninterested in having TBird/me login to my office365 account. I just get this response repeated over and over:

"Login to server smtp.office365.com with username [my.email.address] failed." With three button choices: "Retry" "Enter New Password" "Cancel".

I've spent a LOT of time over the past few days and over the weekend looking for a solution, but nothing so far has worked and I'm at my wit's end!!

Any help that you folks far more experienced with TBird can give me to get things working again would be GREATLY appreciated.

Best regards...

I updated to the newest version of Thunderbird. I was having problems authenticating the accounts I have set up (I was required to do this after the update), but finally succeeded. Two of my accounts do not show all of the folders that are in those accounts. The other accounts are fine. When I try to subscribe, the missing folders do not show up even after refresh. The folders are in the web interface for those two accounts, and also show up fine in my phone. I removed the accounts and re-added them, but the folders still do not show up. The two accounts (Frontier) are hosted by Yahoo. I also have a regular yahoo account and those folders show up fine.

Just reinstalled and re-setup Thunderbird. This morning, a window popped up on my desktop titled: Activity Monitor. Never seen this before. Did I turn on something to make it appear? Can I turn it off?

I was cleaning up my wife's email when I noticed there are a lot of messages unread and in the trash folder that ought not to be. I am wondering how to fix that for her. Example: some amazon.com emails about orders, or emails from favorite merchants or websites.

Some months ago I received an email, but the body of the email was a picture (jpg) from my computer. The sender definitely does not have the image. The content from the sender is missing, and my image is in the body of the email and as an attachment.

This has happened a handful of times over the past 6-9 months, with the same image showing up in emails from various unrelated senders.

I just received an email from my partner who sent me an email with a screenshot attached, but instead of receiving what he sent, I've got an email with my image that randomly shows up in my inbox.

A few days ago it happened, but when I restarted my computer, the unwanted image was no longer present, and the actual email content was visible.

Restarting my computer has not resolved this particular instance.

Does anyone know why Thunderbird is in love with this one image of mine and why it keeps showing up in my inbox in emails from other people?

After downloading and running installer (Thunderbird setup 148.0) from Thunderbird website, Thunderbird opened as usual, showing my three email accounts. The 2 accounts I use for almost everything are both Yahoo accounts (yahoo.co.uk and rocketmail.com). But.. neither of these accounts will work without a yahoo sign-in pop which is pre-filled with an account name (example graphic attachment : thunderbird01red.jpg). 1 example shown but the same thing happens for both yahoo accounts.

The 'Next' button, which I assume will ask for password, does nothing.

I have attempted login via webmail. I enter account name, am asked for password and Yahoo insists on sending me a verification code - to the other yahoo account (the yahoo.co.uk account), which I cannot access! I then attempt to login to the other account to access my pass code and the same thing happens in reverse, telling me that a verification code will be sent to the first account.

Via Thunderbird, which has for years done all this automatically behind the scenes, I can get absolutely nowhere. Via webmail, I am in an 'impossibility loop'. I have cleared cache for each account.

Why won't Thunderbird allow automatic account login, as has been the case since the year dot. These are the 2 accounts around which my entire life is ordered - can somebody please help.
